Who says Christmas is just for the kids? Take a swing down memory lane, and get ready to be immersed in pure 90s nostalgia with a visit from a seriously Bad Santa at the twisted crazy golf, cocktail bar & graffiti house, Golf Fang.

Throughout the weekend, people visiting Golf Fang in Glasgow can meet the big man himself as he pops in, straight from the North Pole*, hip-flask in hand, but it comes with a warning… just don’t sit on his knee.

Those who are lucky enough to see him can have a little chat, tell him what’s on their Christmas list, get a selfie, and the big man will make sure every visitor receives a special gift from his big red sack, plus a 90s Polaroid photo to take away. Now that’s what I call Christmas.

Rediscover the magic of a 90s Christmas, with a collection of iconic, era-defining gifts including the likes of Aliens in goo (baby-making not guaranteed), Tamagotchis, Sea Monkeys, Pokemon cards, Hot Wheels, Sylvanian Families and a few more surprises along the way.

Santa’s the naughty, but here’s the nice… Golf Fang Glasgow will be raising money for a local charity across the weekend, and guests wishing to meet Santa will be asked for a ‘pay as you feel’ donation for a photo with the big man. All proceeds will be donated to the charity.

Plus, from this weekend, shop Golf Fang’s best festive drinks in the new 'Fangos' Christmas Catalogue, a playful new menu paying homage to the beloved 90s catalogue-style Christmas shopping.

Experience a variety of 90s-themed cocktails and mocktails such as The Ale-xtric, a racing blend of Havana Especial, green apple liquor, ginger syrup, and lime and apple juice. Delight in The Baddie, a sweet Barbie inspired mix of Cranberry Juice, Old Jamaican Ginger Beer, Lime Juice, and Cherry Puree. Indulge your sweet tooth with The Furby-licious, featuring Malibu, Butterscotch Syrup, Caramel Syrup, and Milk. Cheers to a nostalgic journey with these flavorful blasts from the past!

The team at Golf Fang commented: “We’re bringing back the joy of the 90s with a trip down memory lane this festive season, but our Santa may be a little bit different to the one you remember from childhood… in our usual style, this one has a bit of an edge, and is strictly for adults. Release your inner 90s kid,, celebrate with our new festive cocktails, play seriously crazy-golf and leave with a special gift from the big man to top off that winning feeling.”

Swing into the festive season with Golf Fang’s perfect indoor offering, with a balance of fang-tastic drinks and seriously crazy golf - with each hole offering up a unique, ‘gram worthy photo opportunity. Expect 18 holes of pure enjoyment with bespoke art, DJs, street food and cocktails inside a cathedral of graffiti.

Never doing themes by halves; Golf Fang offers an immersive & interactive experience, from a Jeremy Kyle inspired hole that looks like it was ripped right from the studio, to a life sized teddy claw machine, so customers will be in for a surprise with every single swing.

To meet Santa*, visit the venue this Saturday 2nd December at Golf Fang Glasgow, see Instagram for times.

Located at 82 - 100 Lancefield St, Glasgow G3 8JD, Golf Fang is open till late every day of the week. Visit golffang.co.uk for more information and bookings.

*Real Santa unavailable, we found this one online.
